Gut Zoomer Key Clinical Messages What is Gut Zoomer? The Gut Zoomer is a stool test that measures over 170 species of bacteria and gut pathogens along with markers of inflammation, digestion, and gut metabolites.
Why Order the Gut Zoomer? The Gut Zoomer provides a comprehensive gut overview, including insight on common gut imbalances such as loss of beneficial organisms, excessive growth of potentially harmful organisms, and loss of overall microbial diversity.

Balancing neurotransmitters Aiding in detoxification And hormonal regulation
